Fran sends in this large mixed group of entries extending from WWII Matildas and A13 tanks to contemporary US Marines and Secret Service personnel. I'll let Fran describe the particulars:

Three 20mm Matilda II's (P237) and three A13 Cruiser Tanks (P238) from Frontline Wargaming, not a lot of stowage or markings due to the fact that with Operation Sealion invasion they would be coming out of the factories and heading straight for the invasion points....

Seventy-five 15mm figures, a full modern US marine platoon of 42 figures with 3 fire teams per squad giving the platoon 9 squads and a command squad, 2 sniper teams, one with a Barrett M107 .50 cal and the other with a M40, an EOD team (Explosive Ordnance Demolition), 3 man casualty team (one of which would be the attached navy corpsman to the marine platoon) plus 2 marines assisting, 8 casualty figures and 10 figures from a small company called The Scene which are meant to be Secret Service or FBI and include 3 body bags...

Amazing detail on the IED.

Based on their shirt and tie colours this could have been the security team for Liberace or Celine Dion...

Well, that is a cart-load of figures - well done Fran! This group will give him an impressive 267 points - just 50 away from Ray...
